1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 The Government of Andhra Pradesh has introduced M-Sand policy as per G.O. No. 38

dated 17.03.2016 and amendments made thereunder with a view to conduct auction of the

identified leases in the state of Andhra Pradesh.

1.2 DMG will identify the areas suited for setting up of M-sand units, fix the boundaries with

geo-coordinates of the identified lease area.

1.3 Existing lease holders who own crushers or not, are also invited to participate in the EoI

if they are interested in setting up of M-sand units.

1.4 Applicant can also identify any mineral bearing area apart from the list provided in the

EoI and propose for setting up of M-sand units.

1.5 Existing M-sand unit holders are also invited to participate in the EoI and select for the

leases they are interested in.

1.6 The incentives provided in the M-sand policy will be applicable for the units established

within the state of Andhra Pradesh.

1.7 The Request for Proposal (RFP)/ Notice Inviting Tender (NIT) will be issued for auction

of the identified leases using an online electronic platform through MSTC.

2. EXPLOITAITON OF MINERAL BEARING AREAS

2.1 The identified leases will be auctioned for a period of 10 years and may be extended for

another 10 years from the date of execution of the lease deed at the sole discretion of the

Granting Authority at the second stage, that is, RFP stage.

2.2 The proposed M-sand unit capacity should be preferably more than 200 TPH. The installed

plant can be considered against maximum of 50 Ha Lease extent. If the applicant is

interested in more lease extent, the minimum capacity (TPH) of the M-sand unit to be

installed should be in that proportion, that is, 4 times of the lease extent in Ha. The

production of M-sand has to be done in minimum three stages like-

a) Primary crushing

b) Secondary crushing and

c) Vertical shaft impacting

However the lessee may establish a modernized plant with latest equipments/ technology

involving the above stages.


8

2.3 The successful tenderer shall start the mineral production from quarries within a period of

nine months and M-sand production within a period of one year from the date of executing

the lease deed. The lease deed will be terminated and security deposit shall be forfeited if

fails to comply the same. However the tender inviting authority may extend the above

period for another three months (twice) for the reasons to his satisfaction, where the lessee

is not at fault for such delay.

2.4 The lessee should produce at least 75% of annual mineral production as per approved

quarrying plan and Environment clearance. The lessee failing to produce the minimum

assured quantity is liable for payment of royalty for such shortfall quantity.

2.5 If the depth of the mining exceeds six meters then section 2 & 3 of the Mines Act, 1952

shall be complied with by the lessee.
